Expert Shocks & Struts Replacement from ASE-certified technicians. 6-month / 6,000-mile warranty on every job.
Broadway Servicenter offers professional Shocks & Struts Replacement for all makes and models in Garden City, NY.
Every repair is backed by our 6-month / 6,000-mile warranty. Honest estimates, no runaround.
Replacement of worn rear or front shock absorbers on all makes and models. Always replaced in axle pairs for balanced handling and braking performance.
Full strut replacement including the strut cartridge and housing. Struts are structural suspension components - replacement always includes a post-installation wheel alignment.
The strut mount bearing allows the strut to rotate during steering. Worn mounts cause knocking noises and steering feel issues. We replace them at the same time as the strut.
Cracked or sagging coil springs change ride height and alignment. We inspect springs during every suspension service and replace when they are damaged or broken.
Strut replacement changes the wheel's alignment angles. A four-wheel alignment after strut replacement is required to prevent uneven tire wear and restore proper handling.
Full inspection of all suspension components - control arms, ball joints, tie rods, sway bar links, and bushings - while the vehicle is on the lift for shock or strut service.
The distinction between a shock and a strut matters when it comes to alignment. A shock is a damper only - changing it does not affect wheel geometry. A strut is part of the suspension structure and changing it does affect geometry, which is why a four-wheel alignment is required after strut replacement. We include alignment with every strut job because skipping it would mean billing you for a repair that leaves the tires wearing unevenly within months.
The bounce test - pushing on the front of the car and counting how many times it bounces - is a reasonable starting check. If the car bounces more than once or twice before settling, the shocks are worn. But mild wear at 60,000 to 80,000 miles is harder to detect that way. What you can catch on a lift is fluid streaking on the shock body (internal oil is leaking past the seal) and play in the strut mount bearing. Both are signs the component is past its useful life even if the bounce test is not conclusive.
Cupped tire wear deserves special mention. A wavy, scalloped pattern across the tire tread is a direct result of a shock or strut that was not controlling the wheel's vertical movement properly. By the time you see that pattern, the tire has already been unevenly worn and may need to be replaced. Catching worn shocks early - before the tire wear sets in - means one service instead of two. If you are on a vehicle with 70,000 or more miles in Nassau County and the ride feels different than it did, call (516) 681-0122 and we will put it on the lift and check it.
